2004 on a 2001?
will the OUTER tail light piece on a 2004 Lexus LS430 fit on a 2001 Lexus LS430? Are the mounts the same? the wiring? I know the inner pieces don't fit, but the outer pieces are completely different. Anything would help. Thanks in advance.

Yes this needs to be resolved !!!! The amber strip on an 2001-2003 is out of place. Here are pics. It is pretty damn close. Does anyone have a hook up at a lexus dealership? Someone who will let you try out a taillight lense to see if it will fit? Someone has gotta get out the measuring tape and find out.!!

I don't think we want to go that far. All we want to do is replace that outer part of the tail light that is an ugly amber color. The light strip on the trunk is clear . I willprobably go to the dealer one day and ask the parts dept to put the 2003 and 2004 lense side by side to see if it the same shape. It looks so close from pics I've posted.

Try the GS Forum
When I had my 98 GS400, I watched those forums a lot. I can remember some guys modifying the lense using a dremmel tool and then cutting out the amber part of the lense. I'd like to think the same can be done with the LS. Look around there and see what they did...
Just a suggestion.

European Tail Light?
I've seen "European" tail light assemblies advertised for older Lexii. Anybody know whether the 2001-03 gen had a different lens for the European market? How about Australia, etc.?
